This week at da ‘house…

We have a new fence. It’s much larger then the last, and allows us to open the carriage house door and let the dogs run free (in the fenced area, of course).

The ______ (yet to be named) room has been painted a beautiful shade of “Zen.” For those of you who may be confused about that name, it’s a blue-ish green and looks fabulous!

Today…this very day…puppy pulled a book about llama care off of the dining room table and peed on it.

We are off to look at some llamas on Sunday. They may be the newest members of the Orchard House menagerie. Stay tuned as I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. We must meet them first. Two boys. Geldings. I’m thinking of Gilbert and Sullivan or Stephen and Sondheim for names. Any suggestions?

Construction continues to run smoothly. We have passed a heating inspection and all is on track for a carriage house entry before the end of the year.

Houseboy (a.k.a. Jimmy Brennan) came for a visit. He helped strip the wallpaper in a bathroom. He may be coming back, he may not be. How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

An exciting week I know. Don’t you wish your week was hot like mine?! And this weekend? Well, we are seeing the llamas as I said earlier. Donnie has his choir presentation at Denison University. I am finally going to eat at a Steak and Shake (I have coupons!). And, I may, just maybe, buy a mattress. Woo-hoo!
